9 Bold + Colorful Beaded Cuff Bracelets to Make

Ready to try a different technique in the new year? Take those beautiful beads you love working with and turn them into beaded cuff bracelets!

You don’t have to learn any crazy new skills when you’re figuring out how to make beaded cuffs. Sometimes it’s even as simple as using glue to attach the beaded piece to a fabric backing. Plus, most beaded cuff bracelets are adjustable so that you can go as bold or as minimal as you’d like with your style.

Try out some new techniques and maybe even a new style with these beaded cuff bracelets from our Craftsy designers.

1. Fire and Ice Beaded Cuffs

This fab cuff uses circular peyote stitch to create ice and fire-inspired color palettes. According to the designer, a basic knowledge of beadweaving is helpful for learning the circular peyote technique.

2. Peyote Wide Cuff with Cube Beads

The designer says that all these cube beads woven together creates a bracelet that’s just as comfortable as a leather cuff. Use the same color bead throughout, or create some color blocking with complementary colors. Take a look at the designer’s other photos of the bracelet for more color inspiration.

5. BeJuled Cuff

This beaded cuff has a design that looks a lot harder than it actually is. You can make the bracelet as wide or as narrow as you’d like it; just keep any changes in mind as you’re shopping for supplies.

6. Montana Ridge Beaded Cuff

This is a fantastic way to use up those random beads that are leftover from other projects. I love the color palette in the sample above, but you could also use several shades of the same color for a cool ombré effect.

7. Golden Cuff Beaded Bracelet

Make this cuff as it is, or trade out the pearls for beads you already have. You can even shorten the height of the bracelet by trading the long bugle beads for shorter ones. Even a beginner can complete this versatile design.
